Car Hire Oribi Airport Pietermaritzburg - Mini guide to Oribi Airport Pietermaritzburg

In South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal Province, Oribi Airport Pietermaritzburg is an important provincial gateway. Tourists fly in not only to access the coastal resorts of KwaZulu-Natal but also to explore the history and architecture of Pietermaritzburg. Arranging car hire at Oribi Airport Pietermaritzburg ensures maximum mobility.

Pietermaritzburg sits at the centre of the province within reach of the coast as well as the savannahs of Kruger National Park. Both are popular with tourists and can be reached by hire car from the airport. Other means of public transport are available, albeit not as safe or comfortable.

The long-haul bus station is on aptly-named Burger Street (across from a MacDonald’s) and provides transport to regional cities, but visitors arriving via Oribi Airport Pietermaritzburg are unlikely to use the bus terminal. To get to the city centre from the airport, drive 10 minutes north along Alexandra Road.

A major railway line passes due north of the airport and connects west to Johannesburg. The nearest railway terminal is a short distance from the airport at Pentrich Road. The route is short and takes just over five minutes to drive with cheap car hire at Oribi Airport Pietermaritzburg.

Public transportation options from the airport include taxis and buses, but a poor security record keeps tourists away from most public transport options. The safest and most reliable means of getting around is certainly car rental at Oribi Airport Pietermaritzburg.
